Apple plans to join the foldable phone market soon with its iPhone Fold. A Chinese leaker says the device will have a 7.76-inch inner screen with 2,713 x 1,920 resolution and an under-screen camera. The outer display will measure 5.49 inches with 2,088 x 1,422 resolution and feature a punch-hole camera instead.
The inner display should have a 4:3 aspect ratio without any creases, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Apple might put the Dynamic Island on the outer screen for faster user authentication. The company could also replace Face ID with Touch ID, possibly in the power button, similar to iPad Air models.
Reports indicate Apple is developing an 18.8-inch foldable iPad with in-display Face ID sensors as well. This larger device might run macOS and become the first Apple product with under-screen Face ID technology. Analyst Jeff Pu claims the iPhone Fold has already entered the New Product Introduction phase.
The foldable iPhone will likely arrive late next year and cost around $2,000. Apple seems ready to compete against Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel foldable devices with this new offering. The company appears focused on eliminating common problems like screen creases that affect other foldable devices.
